The fourth and final round of the 2015 Dirt Guide Cross-country Series is set for South Waikato this weekend (Oct 4) and, although Manawatu’s Paul Whibley already has the main trophy in his grasp, it doesn’t lessen in any way the intensity of what is in store for competitors on Sunday.
The Kiwi team is all warmed up for race action this afternoon. The crowd is building …. where are they going to fit them all? Hillsides packed at 8.30am and a steady flow still coming through the gates.

It’s that time of year again when racers forget about the past season’s rivalries and unite instead along different battle lines, now flying the flag of their homelands at the annual Motocross of Nations.
The Kiwis are battered but not bruised after a drama-filled scorcher at the 18th and final round of the Motocross World Championships at Glen Helen, near San Bernadino in Southern California, on Sunday.
The signature hills of Glen Helen made for an exciting and successful end to the most epic season of motocross ever, the 2015 FIM Motocross World Championship.
There is no doubt that the United States is among the top nations in the world when it comes to motocross racing, having won the Motocross of Nations an astounding 22 times since the competition’s inception in 1947.
